If you are installing from CVS, you should always run autogen.sh every
time you update.

autogen.sh has the checks and complaints.
 
If you are installing from tarballs, the version of libtool you have
installed shouldn't matter.

'make maintainer-clear', though most of the time, the GTK+ developers
would just blow away their checked out copy and get a fresh one from
CVS if things got that screwed up. So it's not really tested, and
problems may be revealed if you run it.
